GABAY at DZAS

Our workplace is also our mission’

A great reminder for all of us:

I LOVE THIS!

Teach me Your way, O LORD; I will walk in Your truth.
*PANGINOON, ituro N'yo sa akin ang Inyong pamamaraan, at susundin ko ito ng may katapatan.
(Psalm 86:11)

If we're not careful, we may become like the man who prided himself on being an expert archer. The secret of his success was that after he shot his arrow at the side of a barn, he painted a bull's-eye around the arrow.
It's easy to live our lives doing what we want and thinking that our ways and instincts are right on target when in reality our "bull's-eye" shots at life are not on target at all. Proverbs 14:12 says,"There is a way that seems right to a man, but it's end is the way of death."
Sometimes it may feel right to seek revenge, hoard money, chase pleasure, or yell at people who yell at us. But God's ways are different from ours. He has pinned a bull's-eye on forgiving those who have hurt us, on giving generously to those in need, on living to please Him rather than ourselves, and on turning the other cheek. We need to pray, "Teach me Your way, O LORD; I will walk in Your truth". And then we need to aim to follow His ways in all that we do and say.
But we all need to aim at the right target. Thankfully, the bull's-eye is already painted in the brushstrokes of God's truth as revealed in His Word. When we aim right at God's Word, we'll discover that His ways are right on target-- every time!
God's ways are our targets for living.
Sometimes or most of the time, we don't understand, BUT... KEEP TRUSTING, have FAITH! TGIF! 🤍💙💚💜

There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise promotes health.
*Ang pabigla-biglang salita ay nakakasugat ng damdamin, ngunit ang magandang salita ay nagpapagaling.
(Proverbs 12:18)

Unhealthy attitudes of anger, irritation, frustration, and impatience--even disappointment, stress, guilt, and insecurity--all contribute to our damaging speech. And as we cut with our words, we wound and divide friendships and relationships. It's no wonder the infamous list of seven things that are an abomination to the LORD includes anyone who "sows discord among brethren".
How do we stay off that list? For starters, we need to watch what we say. Gossip and slander are out, and words that hurt instead of heal are not welcome. Boasting, lying, and all the rest of the ways we use words to hurt and divide need to be gone as well. In their place, words that extend love and the healing power of forgiveness, mercy, and truth should rule our words and relationships. After all, where would we be if Jesus hadn't spoken words of forgiving love and grace to us?
So, put the "knife" away and use your words to help and heal.
Our words have the power to build up or tear down.
Pondering to a Winnable Wednesday! 💞💖💝
